Anyone else do any modeling over the long weekend? Post photos or tell us what you did. Not an exact model but close enough is Chicago Great Western business car #99. This was built for someone who used to work for the railroad and also rode this car several times. Hope he gets as much enjoyment out of it as I did while building it.  Bill Denton |

Haven't done any modeling or train running yet and I have to work tomorrow, so no long weekend for me.  That is a nice looking car, skytop. |

Jumping into Model Railroad Season with some recently finished Freight Cars. Worked on them the last couple of weeks but applied the finishing touches this weekend.  Since I was painting a boxcar with Floquil Dark Green paint, I assembled this Atlas kit quickly and painted it also, lettered with Herald King Decals, an Ex-M&StL PS 2003 CF Covered Hopper, lettered in the current C&NW scheme while keeping its old car number.  A Details West FGE RBL Boxcar Kit, painted with Scalecoat II Aluminum (Roof), CNW Yellow (Sides) and Black (Ends). Lettered with Herald King Decals. The CNW rostered a large number of these FGE RBL's.  Even though ExactRail made a RTR version of this car, I already had the Microscale Decal for this car so I got an undecorated kit. Car in Painted in White, Black Underframe and a Galvanized Roof. Used Scalecoat II paint. Thanks for looking! Rick J |

Not much so far... the weather outside has been too nice and there's too much other Labor to do on Labor Day Weekend.
I was over a friend's house Saturday night continuing to work on a Heljan sanding and fuel facility. It's a non-trivial kit with a lot of parts and a fair amount of painting requested by my friend to give a cue that it's on the Great Northern (my friend's pike is quite large and includes UP, NP, GN, SP&S and MILW in Washington State circa 1970).
I am almost done with a Branchline "Dubois Store" and when I next come up for air I'll shoot some quick images.

This has been a very busy time for me, so I didn't get any modeling done, but I did get a chance to run some trains.
